'I was 22 when I was diagnosed with cervical cancer and had a year to live, but thanks to the smear I am a 53-year-old survivor'
"Stop being a wuss", say Leeds cervical cancer survivors pleading for women to get their smear tests.

There are 99.8 percent preventable cases of cervical cancer and that would be just through having a smear. Let’s get women talking about cervical cancer and give it the awareness and recognition it deserves. Life is important and too short."
Sue Payne added: "Please go get your smear tests - cervical cancer isn't fun." Lisa Marsh-Shale said: "When I was much younger you had smear tests when you became sexually active. I had the tests from age 15 and 16 years old regularly. Then when I was 22 and 23 I had been diagnosed with cervical cancer."
